Thanks for the clarification DO,
Where I did love Speed Racer in the 70s, I didn't realize these were japanese cartoons until I was watching Starblazers in the early 80s. That was definitely the show that had me hooked on anime. The biggest thing that stood out was that they weren't afraid of killing off characters or letting people get seriously injured. I mean, consequences for peoples actions. What were these people thinking? Couldn't they see from GI Joe that no matter how many bullets were shot that nobody should get hurt? <just a little sarcasm there>

Gullible isn't in the dictionary.
